Exterior Textiles
Durable fabrics that shine in harsh environments
Exterior or outdoor fabric must be tough yet visually appealing, delivering vibrant colors for awnings, sunshades, tents, outdoor furniture, flags, rugs and more. These textiles must stand up to harsh conditions—UV radiation, rain, wind and fluctuating temperatures—while resisting wear and tear and retaining their good looks for years of use.
At Archroma, we bring our innovation power and expertise to help you develop products that combine performance and market appeal. As regulatory pressure mounts and the demand for circular production gathers momentum, you can count on us to support your shift to cleaner and more sustainable practices.


Outstanding UV Stability for Fabrics that Last
Prolonged exposure to sunlight causes colors to fade and fibers to degrade, reducing fabric strength over time. UV stability is therefore a primary concern for outdoor textiles.
Archroma has dyes, inks and UV absorbers specifically designed to improve the light fastness and stability of polyester (PES) and acrylic (PAC) fibers. We offer solvent-free* solutions that help you meet and exceed industry standards for performance, safety and environmental responsibility. Our coatings are compatible with a variety of other finishes.
* Below limits of detection according to industry standard test methods.
Tailor-Made Solutions that Add Value
We are the partner of choice when you need to deliver state-of-the-art effects that fulfil exacting technical requirements and maintain safety standards. We add value with a wide portfolio of finishing products for water repellence, soil release, flame retardance, abrasion resistance and anti-microbial protection.
